Filed: 1965-10-19
Abstract: 1,063,220. Turn-buttons. A. RAYMOND. Oct. 19, 1965 [Jan. 29, 1965], No. 44193/65. Heading E2A. A turn button fastening device comprises a cage-like member 2 adapted to be secured to a support and a rotatable member including an actuating portion 8 and an integral shank 7 wherein the actuating portion 8 is drawn into engagement with the outer face of a wall of the cage-like member by a concavely curved resilient element 15 non-rotatably supported in the cage by the shank, the element being held in a state of compression such that portions 18 thereof engage the inner face of the wall, the shank 7 extending through a central aperture 16 and the element so as to be rotatable by the actuating portion 8. As shown, the actuating portion 8 is movable against the resilience of the element 15 to positions at right angle to one another determined by grooves 4, 5 and the outer surface of the member 2.

Abstract: 1,160,696. Aerials; pulse radar. COMPAGNIE FRANCAISE THOMSON HOUSTONHOTCHKISS BRANDT. 4 Oct., 1966 [14 Oct., 1965; 2 Nov., 1965], No. 44351/66. Headings H4A and H4D. [Also in Division H1] An aerial comprises spaced and selectivelyoperated primary radiators 1, 2, Fig. 1, and two spaced arrays 41 ... 4n, 51 . . . 5n of elements interconnected by phase shifters 61 ... 6n adjustable such that waves are focused and scanning is achieved by a phase-shifting programme which may be digital. The invention is applied to a pulse radar. If α denotes the angle subtended by F 1 , F 2  at the centre of array 4 and the lens is adjusted for transmission to a target in a direction S relative to the axis passing from F 1  through the centres of arrays 4, 5, then on reception re-adjustment is made tO correspond to an angle S + α. The corresponding phase shifts are made during an interval # overlapping the transmitted pulse and during the remainder of the pulse repetition period (p.r.p.) T, Fig. 3 (not shown). The phase shifters are also varied for each p.r.p. to achieve scanning. The phase shifter may be a continuous type by variation of current through ferrite but preferably it is a digital phase shifter utilizing a magic-T and diode switches in the two side arms (see Division H1 and Fig. 6 (not shown)). In general arrays 4, 5 are two-dimensional, Fig. 4 (not shown) with programmed digital control using binary numbers, the different orders of a number actuating digital phase shifters connected in series, Fig. 5 (not shown). The phase-shifter chain may include an additional unit introducing a phase shift f 1  (#) dependent only on wavelength (#) for correction of second-order effects. The radiation pattern may be controlled by a further phase shift f 2  (#). To afford a different radiation pattern during reception another phase shift f 3  (#) is added. The receiving element 2 may be of the multi-mode kind described in Specification 1,002,140 for a monopulse radar. A digital computer for controlling the phase shifters is described, Figs. 7, 8 (neither shown). Aerials 1, 2 may both be transmitting or both be receiving. In another embodiment a plurality of separate transmitters 91 ... 9N, Fig. 9, are connected to individual radiators 11 . . . 1N, with a single receiving aerial 2; radiators 11... 1N are preferably arranged in a part-circular or part-spherical array with their axes converging near the centre O of the lens array 4. A programmed controller 801 causes a keying cycle, Fig. 10 (where there are assumed to be six transmitters) and phase switching with the same target direction in one p.r.p. and switched target directions in successive p.r.p.s. This is achieved by an appropriate computer, Figs. 12, 13 (neither shown). The invention may be applied to a mirror 3, Fig. 14, using arrays 41 . . . 4n and 51 ... 5n; a Cassegrainian arrangement is mentioned.

Title: Typewriter carriage control
IPC: B41J25/18
Filed: 1966-10-05
Abstract: 1,140,596. Typewriters &c. SCM CORP. 5 Oct., 1966 [5 Oct., 1965(2)], No. 44570/66. Heading B6F. General.-A typewriter carriage control means comprises a keyboard operated mechanism so that the carriage may be power driven in tabulation (letter-spacing) or in carriage-return directions at two rates of speed. Carriage driving mechanism.-The carriage is biased in letter-spacing direction by a barrel spring 23, Fig. 1, but its speed is controlled by cables 58, 60, Fig. 2, wound in helical grooves in a drum 52 rotatable about a shaft 16 and driven by a pair of abutments 110 on a metal bearing 108 fixed to a plastic ring portion 112 of a wheel 106 which may be driven in either direction. Tabulation and carriage movement in release direction at normal speed.-The depression of a tabulation key 150 pulls a link 152, Fig. 2, and pivots a bell-crank 154 which engages a pin 176 on a rocker 170. This pivots about its shaft 162 and a roller 174 engages the rim of the wheel 106, which is thus driven since the roller 174 is continuously rotating from the drive of a motor 31, Fig. 1, via driving pulleys, belting 34, 40, 38, 42, 46, 44, and a shaft 16. The shaft 16, Fig. 2, has a gear 114, driving intermediate gear 166 and a gear 172 on a shaft 168 carried in the rocker 170 and driving the roller 174. Tabulation and carriage movement in release direction at reduced speed.-By depressing a key 250 to a depth beyond the normal for single letter-spacing a link 252, Fig. 5, is operated to rock a second roller 274 into engagement with the wheel 106. Since this roller is geared down by gears 272, 266, 258 and the gear 114 on the shaft 16, the drum 52 is driven at a reduced speed. Power carriage-return at normal speed.- Movement of the carriage in return direction is effected by coupling the drum 52 to the motor driven shaft 16 by a spring clutch 208 coupled to a collar 118 on the shaft 16 and wrapped round a hub portion 210 extending integrally from the drum 52. Operation of a carriage-return key 200 pulls link 202 and friction pad 206 to cause spring to tighten and effect drive to the cable 60. Power carriage-return at reduced speed.-A third driving roller 372, Fig. 5, is operative in the same manner as the second roller 274 but the gearing causes the wheel 106 to turn so that a carriage-return movement is effected. Multiple action space-bar.-Normal depression of the space-bar 250 causes one letter-space but if it is depressed to a depth beyond this a continuous space glide of the carriage occurs.

[Also in Division G3] An induction motor 10 driving a hoist is started in an upward direction when a master control handle 30h is adjusted to provide a reference signal to rectifier control units 34, 35. Rectifiers 43, 44, then supply direct current to saturating winding HXCW in series with saturating winding BXCW so reducing the impedance of respective A.C. windings HX1, HX2 and BX. At this time, a saturating winding LXCW, associated with power windings LX1, LX2 is not energized. The potentials at terminals T1, T2, T3, approach those at supply lines L2, L1, L3, respectively, the windings LX1, LX2 operating as auto transformers to compensate for the voltage-drop across windings HX1, HX2. The speed of the motor is stabilized by a tachometer generator whose voltage opposes the reference voltage applied to unit 34. If the reference voltage is suddenly reduced, the unit 34 is turned-off and the unit 35 is turned-on to reverse the phase-rotation of the stator voltages until the speed is again stabilized at a new value. The master switch 30 may be placed to hold the load still, movement of the handle 30h in the lowering direction turning-on the unit 35 to lower the impedance of windings LX1, LX2, the windings HX1, HX2 having high impedance. A brake 60 has release coil 61 connected between line L2 and an intermediate tap 63 on voltage divider 64.
